1993 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"This is the biggest piece of garbage Dodge ever put out, I will never buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical trouble first trip to Vancouver Island. Stranded for 5 days.
Door stays wore out 4 times.
Door hinges wore out and replaced twice.
Four water pumps.
Four front wheel bearings.
Cruise control twice.
Transmission total failure at 100 000 km.
Multiport fuel injection housing cracked in half and the top of the motor caught on fire.
Would never start in -20 or colder Celsius even if plugged in all night. It did after the motor was changed.
Spun a crank bearing, new motor after 190 000km. 6500.00 just for the longblock, at this point the car was only worth 5000.00, so we put in a used one with different fuel injection and it started in the cold great.
Air conditioning only worked for 4 yrs out of 10.
Power antenna.
Power trunk.
Electrical system meltdown on a cold winter morning.
General comments?
Looks good.
Handles good.
Garbage.
Donald Trump cannot afford the repairs.
